Run For Free FAQ’s

Opting out of your Reimbursement. Send more kids to Camp Ooch

Camp Ooch incurs the cost of your registration as our way of saying thank you for your commitment to raising critical funds for children with and affected by childhood cancer.

By opting out of receiving a refund, you will receive a gift-in-kind donation tax receipt and make a meaningful difference in the life of a child.

How will I receive my reimbursement?

Instructions on how to receive your reimbursement will be emailed to the address you provided when you signed up to fundraise. You must respond to this email in order to receive your reimbursement or tax receipt.

If you have moved or would like us to send the refund to an alternative address, please contact SL10k@ooch.org
